Healthcare Professionals Events

March 2018

This one-day course, sponsored by the Nursing Professional Development Shared Governance Council, is offered to all disciplines that care for children at the end of life. The course describes the philosophies, principles and practices of palliative care that can be integrated across different settings to influence quality pediatric end-of-life. Information will also be provided regarding the role of healthcare providers and families in providing palliative care for children.

Seattle Children’s Rehabilitation Department is proud to sponsor this conference presented by Elaine Owens, MBE, MSc, SRP, MCSP. The course is intended primarily for pediatric physiotherapists, orthotists and other professionals working in the field of pediatric gait rehabilitation. It is also highly relevant to physiotherapists, orthotists and others working in the fields of adult neurology and adult learning disability.

The course explores a fresh approach to the observation and analysis of normal walking and standing, and the classification and management of gait disorders. The biomechanics of normal walking and standing and the pathological gaits of disabling conditions will be extensively reviewed, with particular reference to orthotic management. Pre-gait analysis and orthotic management assessment will be demonstrated. The emphasis of patient cases will focus on cerebral palsy, myelomeningocoele and other neurological conditions.

Participants will gain knowledge of the aims of orthotic management and how to achieve them through the biomechanics of ankle–foot orthoses, the influence of footwear, varieties of AFO footwear combination design, tuning AFO footwear combinations to optimize gait and extensive video examples. In addition, live patient demonstrations will help participants refine their clinical decision-making skills involved in gait analysis and orthotic design.

Free Category I CME credit. Speakers and topics include Dr. Douglas Russell on mental health for very young children, Dr. Cecelia Margret on trauma-informed care for children and youth and Dr. Will French on bipolar disorder.

The Neonatal Resuscitation Program (NRP) Course is an education program of the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) and the American Heart Association (AHA) that teaches an evidence-based approach to newborn care. The course introduces the concepts and basic skills of neonatal resuscitation by utilizing a blended learning approach that includes online testing, online case-based simulations and hands-on case-based simulation/debriefing that focus on critical leadership, communication and teamwork skills.

The Low-Risk NRP Course is designed for providers who specialize in low-risk deliveries or who are new to the birth environment. This course is designed to provide more opportunity to practice individual skills and moving through the NRP Resuscitation Algorithm, as well as focusing on teamwork and communication.
